I forgot about cfdisk. I'm really comfortable with fdisk. I
tried cfdisk and it shows some mount points. Most of partions

I was going to move the primary master hard drive, but after
removing it and setting my secondary as primary it wouldn't
boot.
How far did it get in the boot process? How did it fail?
What are using for a boot loader? Lilo? Grub?
Did you install them on the new hard drive?
I forgot it not being a boot dirve.
I don't know what you mean by this statement. Can a hard
drive be boot incompatible?
The bios didn't like it either.
Are you saying the bios didn't recognize the hard drive?
Or that it had trouble with both drives when you switched them?
I put it back to the original settings and
places. I will have to live with it or backup everything and
start fresh. Don't know if I want to do it.
Thanks

This may not be necessary. Possibly you are missing a
small step.

Are the partitions critical enough that you can't move
everything from them to another partition or drive then blow
them away? That's what I'd do.
